After deciding against making Gary Kubiak their offensive coordinator, the Denver Broncos wanted to interview San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello for the open position.

The 49ers have blocked the Broncos from interviewing Scangarello, though, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Even though it would be a job promotion for Scangarello, San Francisco is allowed to block him from talking to other teams because he is still under contract.

Scangarello appears to be an important part of Kyle Shanahan’s staff with the 49ers. Scangarello coached under Shanahan when the two coaches were with the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 and he followed Shannahan to the 49ers in 2017.

This news may put Denver in a bit of a dilemma because Scangarello was believed to be the team’s “preferred choice” for the job, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Bill Musgrave, who was the team’s offensive coordinator last season, is not expected to be brought back.
